As a kid I always saved my favorite part of my meal for last. I wanted the yummiest tastes to be the last on my tongue. I still do this, and it has taken me 41 years to realize this leads to overeating. Now of course since I am serving myself, I like everything on […]

I love cheese, real cheese that comes in blocks and has a rind. Cheese that smells pungent with a strong taste that would make kids gag. So why does the fake orange cheese always look so good?

Yes, you will probably hate me after this, but I almost never cook. Breakfast and dinner are made by my hubby and daughter. They bring it down […]

So here are some things I’ve said to myself and then thought, “Really? You’re actually going to complain about that? […]
